The '''M19 102mm high-explosive, shaped-charge surface-to-surface missile''' ('''M19 SSM''') is a munition for the [[M41 SPNKR|M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]]{{Ref/Book|Id=evg|EVG|Page=156}}{{Ref/Book|Id=art|AoH3|Page=57}} and [[M39 rocket turret]] employed on the back of the [[M12A1 Rocket Warthog]].{{Ref/Game|HPC|[[M39 rocket turret]] in-game model}}
The '''102mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank''' '''(HEAT)''' shaped charge can be fired from [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher]]<ref>''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''</ref> and [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher]]<ref>''[[Halo 2]]''</ref>. As the name reveals, they are primarily designed to penetrate Tank and other vehicle armor. The 102mm HEAT charges are large, almost as large as the 105-120mm shells that the 21st century tanks used to fire. When fired from the [[M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher|M41 Rocket Launcher]], the charge will lock on the target and follow it until it is destroyed or out of sight. Instead, when fired from the [[M19 SSM Rocket Launcher|M19 Rocket Launcher]], it seems to travel slower and it will not arc nor lock on the target.

An M19 HEAT/SC rocket.

The M19 102mm high-explosive, shaped-charge surface-to-surface missile (M19 SSM) is a munition for the M41 SSR MAV/AW Rocket Launcher[1][2] and M39 rocket turret employed on the back of the M12A1 Rocket Warthog.[3]

Overview[edit]

The M19 SSM is a HEAT and plays the role of an anti-vehicular ordnance. It possesses a blast radius of 15 feet (4.6 m). As such, it is capable of penetrating the heavy armor of even the Wraith; lighter vehicles, such as the Ghost, are typically destroyed upon impact. The M19's blast radius is rather large, making the projectile effective against concentrated groups of infantry.[4]
